Letter: Foul mouths just foul our culture

I was sadly disappointed in the use of language in the Sept. 28 Ledger article in the sports section titled "Taking a knee."

I believe this sends the wrong message to the readers and any form of foul language should not be allowed.

The problem is this country's level of morality is getting lower every day. More and more things that used to be considered morally and socially unacceptable are now being considered acceptable and are being used in our everyday TV programs, comics in the paper, songs on the radio, car bumper stickers and the list goes on.

When is enough going to be enough? Or how far are we willing to go? How long before complete nudity on everyday TV programs is exposed to our children? The language worsens every day; even commercials are slipping in foul language.

You have every right to use whatever language or sexual innuendo in the privacy of your own home or dwelling, but I and my family also have the right to not be publicly exposed to these things as well.

Granted, in the real world you’re going to be exposed to bad things, but America has become way too complacent and our children are paying the price. How can a teacher at school discipline students for using foul language when they can just pick up a paper and read it?
